Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYThe best amount is the amount that completely controls seizures without causing troublesome side effects. It depends on many factors, which are different for every individual. Follow the doctor's directions. Call if you have any questions.
No one should stop taking Lyrica or change the amount they take without talking to the doctor first. Stopping any seizure medicine all at once can cause a problem that may be life-threatening.
Lyrica at doses of 150 to 600 mg/day have been shown to be effective as add-on (adjunctive) therapy in the treatment of adults with partial seizures. Lyrica is usually started at 75 mg two times a day or 50 mg three times a day. Based on how well Lyrica is tolerated, the dose is gradually increased to a maximum dose of 600 mg/day. Doses higher than 600 mg/day have been taken, but have not been assessed by the FDA for safety and effectiveness.
People over age 65 and others with kidney dysfunction generally require a lower dosage and longer intervals between doses.
